Tampa Marriott Westshore

Went there for a music festival this weekend which is probably why we weren’t taken care of because we were a bunch of partying kids. I wasn’t impressed at all. They first placed us in a room with sheets covered in hair. Switched our room to one with a mini fridge which was nice. We later come to find underneath the bed in the new room there are half eaten crackers and a box of crackers. One night later we find spiders in our room and investigated to find out there’s an opening on the window leading to outside of the window that was filled with cobwebs. The last two days of our stay the maid never made it to our room and was on our floor ALL DAY. We had no towels to shower and when I called to get more the front desk said there are 5 people ahead of you. I didn’t get towels for an hour. For the price I paid I was disappointed. The location was too good to pass up on.

Staff was nice … That is the only reason that got any stars. They are using the restaurant entrance for check in. I think after the construction or whatever the hell they have going on is over it would not be bad. They are charging too much for mattresses that are broken and left us all sleeping like shit. They do not even have a mini fridge in any room. If you HAVE to stay bring a cooler and your own mattress.

Good Marriott in a decent location. The staff was very friendly, and our room was comfortable. Luckily we had access to the lounge, and it is awesome. Would stay here next time in this area.

An okay hotel. However, our room was right behind the elevator shaft and we could hear the whining of the elevator engines all night.
I was also disappointed in their organization when it came to arranging transportation for us to get to the Tampa pier. They use an outside transportation agency which was over an hour late. They had too many customers and had to send another van for us. It would have been easier and less hassle to just hire a cab. We probably won’t be staying here in the future.

BEDBUGS. I famous hotel because I had to go on a corporate trip and this is around the corner from the airport. It was also across from 2 strip clubs as well which is not the best part of town… think that the name Marriott would carry something but it doesn’t here. The only positive was that they let me do early check-​in BUT that was a small price to pay the afternoon after I checked out only to find my leg covered in bed bug bites. My coworker who was five flights lower on the 5^th floor also was also bitten and found bugs in between the sheets. I’ve heard horror stories of this but I’ve never thought that I would sleep in a bed infested with bed bugs at a Marriott Hotel costing me over $ 175 per night…

Very friendly and attentive staff here. Convenient location and decent parking. Rooms are a titch dated, but fine. Chief downside is the lounge on the top floor. There are no comfortable seats for sitting and relaxing, and the breakfast offerings are wanting — they offer eggs but no breakfast meats or potatoes. I asked the staff why not and the reply was «if we made those things available, people would eat it all.» The lounge has a cramped, «we just want you to get in and out of here» feel. Bar/​restaurant on the ground floor is superior.

I stayed last night with co workers, we were all in separate rooms on different floors and had the same in room experience. The night of check in there was no hot water to shower and called front desk to ask if there were any issues with the plumbing. The front desk sent maintenance to the room but he left saying he had to check the main water system agreeing there was no hot water in the room. We went on with our night hearing nothing assuming the issue was being taken care of until I tried to shower this morning, still no hot water. When my co workers and I met up in the lobby we realized we all had the same complaint of no hot water and that our bathroom sink didn’t drain causing one person to flood their bathroom after the front desk told them to keep the water running and it would eventually get hot. The front desk had no apologies or even gave acknowledge there was an issue with 6 different rooms standing in front of them with the same complaint. Poor Service!

Up to Tampa for a Giants /​Bucs Game weekend and our crew of 31 stayed here at the Westshore Marriott. Seems we all had the same opinion so to speak of the place… Hotel was a bit older but rooms had been remodeled though VERY SMALL. Ample size desk with flat screen TV limited channels.
Beds were fine and linens fresh and clean. Lobby and check in no problem with Starbucks in lobby and gift shop which was closed early on a Sunday when it indicated it would be open till 9PM which meant no where to get a refreshment on site though front desk did offer free water.
Bar off lobby «BLUE» was good with TV’s to watch games as well as full menu of appetizers etc.
2 Pools one in atrium very hot and 1 outside. both clean and well maintained. Free WIFI for Marriott Rewards members who book directly on website.
Downside parking was ample but place was VERY VERY BUSY with events and conventions and it was quite a walk to get to hotel when these events were going on.
Staff was very courteous and helpful. All and all I would not hesitate to stay here again as logistics to everything were great.

Well if we got any attention sitting at the bar we could be writing a good review, but when you are ignored by the server and the bartender you can’t order anything therefor you cannot leave a review!!! They both had nasty attitude so probably shouldn’t be working with the public! They just cost you probably $ 60 or more!!! Thanks for the FRIENDLY SERVES. The only reason I gave them one star is because you can’t move forward with this review unless you Mark a star.

This hotel is across from a strip club, so for entertainment, if you have the right view, you can watch all the drunks leaving from there.
Back to the hotel. The lobby was spacious and clean. We got a room with 2 double beds. The room was very small, but the bathroom was worse. The bathroom door almost touches the toilet when you open it. When you are standing at the counter, you will bump into the toilet right behind you. If you are trying to get ready with the bathroom door open, it is even worse. The shower does not get very hot, lukewarm at best.
The beds are very comfortable, but the pillows are hard and lumpy.
The pool has an atrium area, but be prepared to sweat!
Now, the big negative. You will see when you check in on Unilocal it says that 1 free beer or wine welcome drink. My husband went to get his drink, the girl told him that she didn’t think that was being honored. She went and got a manager and he confirmed that it wasn’t being honored.
This is obviously an older Marriott that could use some updating and they need to remove the Unilocal free drink for checking in as it is false advertising.

Just your average Marriott property — standard furnishings, small bathrooms, and a nice pool area. The staff is nice and there is a convenience store at the Shell across the street that has a good selection of snacks and beverages. Room service breakfast was excellent (and reasonably priced). Free parking is a plus. Overall not particularly luxurious but close to some decent steakhouses and convenient to airport.

Stayed the night here due to being bumped from a flight. Perfect way to end a great vacation, actually, and that is a testament to the hotel. Lobby not too impressive, but the pool area, the Blue Bistro lounge (ice cold beers on a warm evening, lots of fellow travelers to trade stories with, good menu), the welcoming room, the room nice amenities, and the superb west-​facing view from the wall of windows (airport, water, etc.) were great. Iced water vessel, towels, and apples put on a cart outside of main entrance for returning A.M. joggers. Nice touch. Indoor/​outdoor pools with beautiful plantings just beautiful and perfect temp and length for swimming laps. Gym is kind of tight but very well outfitted. King-​sized, pillow-​top bed was luxurious, room decorated with Art Deco-​goes modern theme, large and light-​filled bathroom, very good-​sized shower, lots of sweet bathing gels, facial soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion to choose from, large-​screen-​TV, complimentary water bottles share space with the usual in-​room coffee maker. It was all good!

Because of my job I do some business with the Tampa Marriott Westshore. They normally have customer appreciation for those they work with. Last week they had a St Patrick’s day themed luncheon.
The lunch was excellent! We had corn beef cooked and seasoned just right with steamed cabbage. They had a Shepherds pie, green beans and salad. The lemonade and Ice tea were the perfect shade of green.
The dessert I could have done without the lemon cheesecake tasted frozen.
I was also there for a holiday special at Christmas and the food was great then as well.
The hotel was updated a few years ago and the suites are nice. When we have speakers in town we normally house them at one of the Marriott properties and we are always pleased with their excellent customer service. Some of the break out rooms are dated but overall the experience here is wonderful

Stayed there about 5 years ago and I want too go back
The staff makes you feel very welcome through its a very expensive hotel almost like family.
The beds feel great a nice looking rooms. If you are a Nhl fan is right across for the hockey arena and I think most of the Nhl teams stay there.

All around good hotel. Nothing crazy.
Very clean hotel. Bathrooms are clean and commen area is nice. Like other reviews said older Marriot but for the price it was fine. Had a miss communication with staff regarding continental breakfast, But staff took care of it with little hesitation. Rooms are smaller and had a slight smell but the worst part of the room was the pillows! Very thick hard pillows that I couldnt even use.

The staff here have all been more than accommodating each step of the way.
Clean rooms and facilities.
Ice water delivered pool side!

I was visiting someone who was staying there and had the opportunity to sit in the pool area and through the ballroom area. The pool area is clean and very well maintained. The outdoor area has small amount of seating for the size of the hotel. The pool flows from the outside to the indoor section which is a very nice feature.
Carpets were kind of dated walking through the lobby’s but were clean and well maintained.
Parking was plentiful and easy access.
When my sister checked in to the restaurant there a Unilocal offer came up which they said they had not authorized. They honored it but said they did not place the offer with Unilocal.Just an FYI if interested in going there.

Where do I start? The only good things about this hotel are the shuttle drivers being so nice and the free booze from a Unilocal check in. Otherwise, I will never stay here again.
We arrived late, after midnight. Walked in and they reimbursed our cab fee, which was great. They checked us in, and we proceeded to ask for some vending machines or food options. Nothin. We hadn’t eaten in hours and there isn’t even a bag of chips available to eat. Instead they mentioned a shell station across the street that’s open 24 hours. As a young female, walking anywhere at 1am, especially with a local strip club parked across the street, was not a smart choice. So I ended up just going to bed.
It’s dirty. I dropped a coin and made the mistake of looking under my bed. Needless to say, my coin stayed under the bed. Not only that, my room smelled like «potty». I wish there was a better way of wording it, but «potty» is literally the perfect description. It’s not a good thing.
Came into town to attend a football game at the Buc’s stadium. We took the shuttle there and had directions where to go upon completion of the game and that we’d be «taken care of». As the game ended, it began to downpour along with plenty of thunder and lightning (which struck several people in the parking lot sadly) Little did we know, the pickup is about a mile from the stadium. No biggy, a mile walk in the rain to get to the shuttle. We can handle it. Until we got there and no shuttle was anywhere in sight for over 45 minutes. So we stood in the rain, considered walking another mile back to the hotel, and eventually just found a cab and split the cost of it with several other guests waiting for the same shuttle. The worst part? Walking back into the hotel, soaking wet, and being greeted with giggles and smiles rather than an apology? A reimbursement for the cab? Ok.
Just to top it all off, I had noticed the front desk had given some cold waters to a guest the first night we had arrived. I figured it was a normal courtesy, considering we already get a couple in our room. (We had chosen not to have our room cleaned, so these were not replaced) So upon returning from dinner, I stopped by the front desk to ask for a couple of waters and they directed me to the vending machines.
Overall, this experience sucked and I won’t ever be coming back here. The customer service is horrible. If it wasn’t for their shuttle drivers being total sweethearts, I’d be giving them 1 star. Stay at one of the other hotels around here. There are tons of options.

The only good thing about this hotel is the shuttle bus that takes you anywhere in a 2 mile radius of the hotel and picks you back up. The drivers are all amazing. As for the hotel itself I have never sneezed so much in my life. They do not do a good job at cleaning the rooms and the carpets. On the first day here we left our room around 9 am and came back later that evening and the room was not cleaned yet. We would have gone to another hotel but everything was booked due to a convention in town. The gym equipment as well as the chairs by the pool need cleaning. The Starbucks closes at 10 am which is absurd. Overall great staff but the hotel is bad sanitary wise

I like this hotel and it was very reasonably priced. A peculiar thing happened when we went to the lounge. My wife and I checked in thru Unilocal and received a Unilocal free drink. When I went to use it, they said it was fake and they had nothing to do with it. I was a bit upset with their explanation and walked out. The manager followed me out and apologized, explained that Unilocal does their own marketing and nothing to do with the hotel, but still offered to buy us a drink. We accepted the apology and eventually left a tip which covered the cost of the drink as well as purchased several more plus food. This manager avoided a potentially bad review of the lounge and ultimately the hotel.
